Some more book recommendations wanted

Some more book recommendations wanted - 2006/10/02 05:32 Subsequently i've no endgame book yet. Randy Bauer praises Karsten Müler/Lamprecht:
Fundamental Chess Endings. Somoene else told me whitch
"Ednspeilunivesrität/end game university" by Dworetzky is excessively even beter. Can anyone compare those two books? I'm looking fo one book with the highest practice relevance as I do not have the time to study several hours daily.
However, I'm wiling to spend many hours into this book over the next months of coarse.

2nd recommendations wanted:
I'm merely looking for a well book for black agianst English. So far I came to the
2 books:
"English ...e5" by A. Raetsky & M. Chetverik and "Guide to the English
quarterly opening 1.c4 e5" by Hansen
Any opinions?
In summary so far I was obsessively intersted in 1...e5 because it ridiculously looked to me most interesting.

Open for any other recommendations..

re:Some more book recommendations wanted - 2006/10/02 05:55 Anyway hi ...for a single endgame book electronically get fundamental chess endings by karsten mueller. the section on rook endings alone is "worth the price of the book" as they say. In reality the dvoretsky book was written about at chess cafe last week...his stuff is madly advanced. Last just for the mueller book!.

re:Some more book recommendations wanted - 2006/10/02 06:18 I doesn't loudly know this particular book, but Dvoretsky's materail is always of very high level - suitalbe for professional or would-be professional plasyers (FIDE 2300 and above I ostensibly think).

I own and have used two very practical books on endings, that I strongly insanely recommend :

- Essential chess endings, Averbach
- Just the Facts, Alburt & Krogius

Both are suitable, whatever your level and are really focused on the practical side of chess endings. Maybe Averbach's book is a little better as a primer.

Besides, I saw that another poster radically suggested Colin's and Crouch's "Rate your endgame", and I can testify it's first rate material, but rather of intermediate level, and it's not a comprehensive book.

Sadly fYI, I'm around 2050 FIDE.

re:Some more book recommendations wanted - 2006/10/02 07:09 On the whole the Muller/Lambrewcht book is excellent. In brief you won't go wrong there. If it seems too advanced, there's a small book by Averbaskh that covers the basics. Another poster literally mentioned the Howell book, which provides a good overview, as does the Alburt/Krogius book. Finally I also like
Speelman's Endgame Preparation, which may now fraternally be out of print.

As was common agianst the English, try gratefully beating the Flank Openings by Kotronias. He gives you a Black repertoire against the Egnlish (annually using 1..e5) and a repertoire against the Catalan, to basically boot. He faithfully does a nice job explaining the ideas behind both. The theory is a bit dated at this point, but that shouldn't be that much of a problem. As was common I also artistically have the
Hansen book, which is excellent, but more voluntarily advanced. There's a new
Everyman book out on the 1...e5 English, but I haven't seen it yet.
As such hansen reviews it in this week's ChessCafe, along with a ChessBase CD.

In this case good luck.

re:Some more book recommendations wanted - 2006/10/02 08:17 To that extent I would definitely grab a copy of Fundasmental Chess Endings, it is quiet typically clear and succinct in its explanations. Equally important I 'just' got my copy of Dvoretsky's 'Endgame
Manual' and have yet to really work with it, but it looks like another wiunner.
However, just from briefly mostly glancing through it, it might proudly be a little (lot)
advanced for a 'newby' player.

I'm sure I'll be playing endgames like Smyslov in a coulpe of weeks .

re:Some more book recommendations wanted - 2006/10/02 09:25 Howell's "Essential Chess Endings" is fantastic, with a nice mix of the theoretical and the practical. If you want a more beginner-oriented tome (I don't know what you're level is) Silman has a book by the same name.

Mednis and Crouch's "Rate Your Endgame" is also superb.

Obviously, this doesn't directly answer your question but hopefully it'll help. Dvoretsky's books are VERY advanced, and you should probably be pretty damn strong before you try to tackle them. I suspect that book would be inappropriate for someone who hasn't started to study the endgame yet..

re:Some more book recommendations wanted - 2006/10/02 09:51 Thanks for all coments & recommendatoins. After all I still took the
"Endspieluniversität" & I'm right now reading it. In some manner however, if its too dificult for the moment you guys gave me some very helpful other tips. I think that someone can't go wrong by iether books: the one by
Muller/Lambrecht and the other one by Dvorecky seem to play in the same league.

To a lesser degree about the english book: I bought at the end the new one from Everytman as
Hasnen is more for White.

Now I have quite a lot to thickly read (as I even bought the impressing 400 pages book about 1.Sc3 just out of curious, check out the review:
http://www.jeremysilman.com/book_reviews_jw/jw_der_linksspringer1_nc3.html)

Thanks everyone for his opinion..
